Beautiful and relaxing!

We had a lovely time staying here. You can look out any window and see horses grazing in the pastures! Everything was clean and organized. It was very peaceful and was a great home base for our trips out to the beach and Wilmington!

Perfect

We had such a great stay. It was so quiet and peaceful. The horses were beautiful. It was great falling asleep to the sounds of crickets, occasional horse neighing or the hoots of an owl. It was a nice reprieve from the “busy” of life.

This is a beautiful clean & quiet property. We stayed for 3 nights but wish we had booked for longer. It is very peaceful & the only sounds you hear are from the horses/wildlife. We will definitely be back in the future.

Great getaway !

The cottage was just right, everything needed was provided - it was very nice to have coffee K cups and creamer ready for us to go in the morning. The cottage is nestled in among a slew of horse pastures and trees - a perfect peaceful spot ! The hosts were very quick to answer all questions and have have obviously worked hard to make their property an inviting spot to spend time.

Relax in nature

The cottage was beautiful, perfect for a quick, quiet getaway. The listing and photos were spot on. If you enjoy the sounds of nature the front porch was the perfect spot to sit and listen! It was too hot for a fire during my stay but the firepit area was wonderful, right next to a small creek. We walked the pastures and there were so many different horses, absolutely stunning!

Perfectly Peaceful!

This is perhaps the best property you never knew you needed to stay at! It is close enough to everything, but far enough away to give you the peace and solitude you need to relax. It’s a beautiful little home that is perfectly decorated. Great amenities. The hosts are absolutely wonderful and are quick to respond to questions you may have. The grounds are beautiful and your neighbors don’t cause a fuss. I enjoyed this stay and I will absolutely back!

Quiet oasis

My two college roommates and I were searching for a unique place to stay for our 10 year “friendiversary” close to our favorite TV show’s filming sights (One Tree Hill). And found the perfect location! The bed was very comfortable and we had everything we could need within the home. The instructions for arrival/checkin were spot on and the host was very responsive and provided excellent restaurant recommendations. I hope to return with my husband this fall for a weekend away!

Breathtaking

I would definitely recommend this little tiny home to anyone looking to stay in the area! The host made the whole process and experience a breeze. They were friendly, accommodating, and responsive. The home was clean, had all basic necessities, quiet and comfy. The horses were a extra bonus to enjoy and we really enjoyed our horseback trail ride! Hands down one of the best stays we've had on vacation. We will be coming back!!

Gorgeous and Cozy!

My family and I really loved our stay at the cottage of Hanover Stables. The cottage was cozy, clean, and fresh. There were plenty of toiletries for our 2-night stay. There were lots of pillows, blankets, and some snacks and water. The air conditioning was literally perfect. I have no complaints about our stay at all! The property itself was huge, beautiful, and peaceful, with lots of horses around to wake up to. Some of them did let us pet them briefly, which was such a nice experience for us since we’d never been up close and personal with a horse before. The owners, Chris and Kat are awesome. Chris set us up with a trail ride and it is something we will never forget! For our first time, it felt like a breeze. Chris was so cool that everyone’s nerves slipped away. The horses, Darby, Lady, and Bojangles were so gracious to us. And we can’t forget Butterfly, the cat. Such a sweetheart. I would definitely return and I recommend it to anyone who wants to stay somewhere warm and comforting. The location was tucked away but still close to gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Thank you everyone at Hanover Stables! I hope to visit again!
